Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event kicked off on October 1st and will conclude on October 8th at 3AM ET. Verge readers and the reporter alike have sifted through the company's extensive selection of discounts to unearth worthwhile products. Headphones and home entertainment items stand out, along with irresistible deals on Pixel 11 phones, A17 Pro iPad Mini, and M5 MacBook Air. The deals are organized in a sortable table, making it easier for shoppers to find what they need.
The iPhone Air is Apple's slimmest yet, boasting a 6.5-inch ProMotion display, a 48MP dual camera setup, and an 18MP front camera with Center Stage support. However, its single rear camera and battery life leave some room for improvement. The phone is available for $999.99, but it can be found for $839.99 at Best Buy (256GB).
The iPhone 16E, often dubbed the spiritual successor to the iPhone SE, offers flagship performance at a more affordable price than the standard 16 model. Unfortunately, it lacks MagSafe compatibility, making it a suitable upgrade for those transitioning from older iPhones. Priced at $599.99, it drops to $489.99 at Best Buy (128GB).
Belkin's Charging Case Pro, while not providing faster charging for the Switch 2 compared to the cheaper Belkin alternative, stands out for its innovative design, featuring a built-in battery, kickstand, and display. The case is priced at $99.99, available at both Amazon (sand) and Belkin (sand), as well as for $80.74 at Amazon (sand) and $84.99 at Belkin (sand).
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, previously priced higher, has seen a significant drop in cost. Reviewers have given it high praise. It can be purchased for $1299.99, discounted to $979.99 at Amazon (256GB), $1299.99 for $1099.99 at Best Buy (256GB), or $1499.99 for $1179.99 at Amazon and $1499.99 for $1179.99 at Best Buy (512GB).
For those who prioritize sound quality and noise cancellation, Bose's QuietComfort Headphones Gen 2 are an excellent choice. With physical buttons for easy navigation, they offer top-tier audio performance. Available at $359, they can be found for $169 at Amazon, $359 at Best Buy, or directly from Bose.
